HOW 'BOUT A NICE CLOSE SHAVE...? I must say here right from the start...I'm not much for musicals. Sound Of Music, Phantom, etc., ain't really my thing. That said, I went to see, "Sweeney Todd" over the holidays. It was absolutely fantastic! I didn't think I'd like it. After all it is...a musical...but a very dark musical, and that's why I liked it. Gotta say Johnny Depp was excellent, as was the whole cast, including Sasha Baron Cohen as Pirelli. Cohen, as you know, was Borat. Listen, I know you guys are probably thinking, "A musical? I ain't goin' to no musical!" Just trust me on this one. Go see the movie...but leave the kids at home. To say it's a little bloody is an understatement. Oh, and after you see the flick...fire your barber & no more pot pies for lunch. And one more thing...The guy sitting 2 seats away from us was mimicking all the moves and saying the lines Depp did in the movie...ALL OF THEM. It was disturbing. He was either a really big fan who's seen the movie a few times since it opened...or it was an instructional video for him...creepy. That guy is a Fox News Alert waiting to happen.

From the AP news service... Quiet Riot singer died of overdose
The death last month of Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been ruled an accidental cocaine overdose. Clark County coroner spokeswoman Samantha Charles confirmed the cause Monday after toxicology results were received Monday.
Dubrow was found dead Nov. 25 at his Las Vegas home. He was 52.
Quiet Riot was perhaps best known for its 1983 cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize." The song, featuring Dubrow's powerful, gravelly voice, appeared on the band's album "Metal Health" — which was the first by a metal band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
DuBrow recorded a solo album in 2004, "In for the Kill," and the band's last studio CD, "Rehab," came out in October 2006.
